bit game stuck tried weird
It was a little bit of a weird game. They tried to frustrate us but we stuck to the game plan. We battled them and got the result, and that's the most important part right now.
chance extra great hard team work
I wanted to be here and I think we have a great chance to win. We have a great team and it will just take some extra hard work to get where we want to be. We will get there and I want to be part of it.
four score win
Sometimes you don't have to score four goals. We have to find a way to win the 2-1 and 1-0 games.
came period thinking third
We came into the third period thinking offense, offense, offense. If we're going to think that way we're not going to go too far.
change coach decision thinking
It doesn't change my position. I still need to go and play and then it's up to the coach to make the decision who plays. I'm not going in thinking I'm the No. 1 guy.
We can say right now that we do have momentum, but we all know how that can change.
days forgot game ready regardless stick win
We have to stick with the plan. Right now the game is over, and we have to forgot about it and get ready for our other game, regardless if we win or loose. We have to play, and one of these days they will go in.
character good
He's a good character guy. He'd be a good addition.
matter
Yeah, that's my goal, but it didn't really matter if Nikolai is in or out. I still have to go and play well.
exactly hit skate
I don't know what exactly it was that hit me, a skate or something.
complete game score
We've got to find a way to score more goals. We have to play a complete game. I don't think we can get through another game like this.
until
Until it's over, I'm not going to tell you it's over.
fight games left playoff until
You can look through the 30 games left and I don't think any of those games are going to be easy. It's going to be 30 playoff games for us. We're going to fight until the end and see what happens. It's all we can do.
satisfied ugly win
It's the most important part to get the win and don't give them a point. If you look at that way, we can say we are satisfied with our game. We got the win. Sometimes it will be ugly, and it was one of them, an ugly one tonight.
